Florida Landscape Supply Delivery

Delivery in Sarasota, Bradenton, Palmetto, Tampa Bay and Beyond

With a fleet of over 250 flatbed trucks, tractor trailers, mini wheelers, forklifts and loaders, Big Earth can deliver what you need, when you need it. Our job is to make your job easier, whether you need 1 yard or 1,000 yards. Not only do we offer delivery throughout the State of Florida, but we also offer add-on options to help you get in, get out and get done. 

Delivery Options Available

As always, Big Earth will deliver to requested jobsite or address. Jobsite conditions are not always suitable for placement, therefore it is expected the buyer provide suitable points of placement. Big Earth will not assume liability for damage to property beyond curbside. Big Earth reserves the right to refuse placement of material in areas driver deems inaccessible or unsuitable. A waiver must be signed for deliveries requiring dumping or driving over a paver driveway.

Bulk Mulch: 1-20 yards per delivery fee

If more than one type of bulk material is necessary (and mixing is understood as a factor) the sum of bulk material yardage must not exceed amount of the heaviest material yardage maximum on order.

Example: Bulk mulch and bulk soil must not exceed a total of 10 yards because bulk soil maximum is 10 yards

 

Everything Else Delivered out of Storefront

Not buying bulk? All other deliveries in the areas of Sarasota, Bradenton, Palmetto, Tampa and surrounding are delivered on a flatbed semi.

There are virtually no minimums with this truck, whether it’s one bag of mulch or 16 pallets of sod; the delivery fee covers both. Each flatbed has the capacity to deliver up to 16 pallets of material at a time for the same delivery fee.

Flatbed Deliveries are curbside. A Moffett (oversized forklift) will be attached to the back of the semi. The driver will remove the Moffett from his/her semi, remove your products from the flatbed and then place your delivery curbside.

 

NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS

While we are open to the public, it is important to understand that access to our premises or purchasing materials from Big Earth via pick up or delivery, is a privilege, not a right. We extend this privilege with the expectation that visitors will adhere to our guidelines and respect our property, operations and employees.

Visiting Our 5 Store Locations:

Please be advised that our premises operate heavy trucks and machinery regularly, prioritizing the safety of both our employees and visitors. By entering our gates, you acknowledge and accept any associated risks, including but not limited to potential injury or damage to personal belongings. Consequently, we reserve the right to request any member of the public to leave or decline business if their presence compromises safety or disrupts our operations. Additionally, for the safety and security of all visitors, we require everyone to check in with a Big Earth team member before exploring the yard, handling any materials, or loading materials into personal vehicles.

Regarding Deliveries:

For your safety and the safety of our delivery personnel, we kindly request that all individuals maintain a safe distance from delivery drivers and trucks during deliveries. Heavy trucks and machinery present inherent hazards, and approaching them during operations can pose significant risks. Prior to the commencement of delivery, a delivery waiver must be signed. It is required that a homeowner, property owner, or a representative selected by the homeowner, who is over the age of 18, be present to sign and accept the delivery. Please note that if no homeowner or representative is on site, material will not be delivered. We will make diligent attempts to contact the customer via phone, voicemail, and text. In the event of two unsuccessful contact attempts, the driver will be directed to return to the store. The customer will then be responsible for payment of the delivery fee for the failed delivery, along with any applicable fees for a retry. All deliveries will be made curbside. This includes placing materials in the road or on the apron of the driveway.  We will not operate machinery or trucks beyond the immediate property lines of the address to which we are delivering.

Regarding Materials:

We strive to accurately represent the current appearance of our products to the best of our ability. However, due to the nature of natural products, variations in size, color, or appearance may occur over time. These fluctuations are beyond our control, and it is the responsibility of the consumer to verify materials prior to acceptance upon pick-up or delivery. Furthermore, consumers have the right to refuse materials at the time of pick-up or delivery for a full refund, excluding the delivery fee if applicable. It is imperative that all customers thoroughly inspect materials and accept them without reservation or remorse at the time of purchase or delivery. Once materials are accepted, complaints, returns, or exchanges will not be accommodated without additional costs for disposal or removal. Please note that Big Earth does not provide guarantees or warranties for any materials post-purchase, including but not limited to sod, aggregates, mulch, seed, fertilizers, chemicals, and other materials
